What is the right way to choose a picture?
In my opinion, you should choose a painting with your heart. Buy what you like, what your soul responds to.
In that case you will really enjoy being the owner of a piece of art.
Don’t worry about where you will hang the painting, if it is chosen by intuition, it will find the right place in your home itself.
Just trust yourself and your sixth sense.
On my website you can choose an available painting for a reasonable price, order an artist’s copy of the sold one or order a painting with the subject of your own interest.
What is the most important thing in purchasing a piece of art?
When you are buying a picture, it is essential to remember that you are not buying it to decorate a wall, but for yourself and your own pleasure.
You can renovate and repaint the walls, change the furniture and decorations, but the painting will stay with you and will probably be inherited by future generations. Therefore, the best way is to trust yourself and your taste in art.
Do children like and appreciate art?
They certainly do.
They perfectly understand the pictures created especially for children’s perception. Naturally, very few children can appreciate the images of abstract and surreal paintings. A child’s mind is not yet ready to understand these styles/genres of art. Until the age of twelve a child lives in the world of realism.
What kind of picture to choose for a boy or a girl?
While selecting a picture for a children’s room you have to bear in mind that a junior schoolchild needs a realistic painting. The image has to be easily understandable but it also has to necessarily leave room for the child’s imagination and stimulate his questions.
When choosing a painting for your child’s or teen-ager’s room, it doesn’t make sense to follow gender stereotypes, thus, pictures with flowers and birds, if they are painted in a strict and discreet style (manner), can be perfectly suitable for a boy’s room.
Girls may like fairy-tale characters, nature and still-life.
The essential thing is that it should be high-quality art or graphics, painted by a professional artist with due attention to and love for interesting details and bright memorable images.
How to teach children to paint?
Parents often ask how seriously they should treat their child’s art classes, perhaps it’s worth looking upon them as pure entertainment.
Of course, many kids learn in the course of playing games, and it is very important that their art lessons should be adequate (should correspond) to their age and perception. Each age has its own level of perception. However, you shouldn’t underestimate the child’s ability to solve difficult tasks. It is necessary for young learners to constantly progress, and for tutors to open up new horizons for them, to help them make their own discoveries. I believe that in teaching children to draw it is important to combine games with giving them knowledge basic for artistic education, namely understanding of color and its effect on the viewer’s perception, of shape and composition as well as ways of using different techniques in achieving the right emotional effect.
